Markbass MB CMD 151 GOG ''Grandfather of Gospel'' 1x15 Combo
Additional Photos:
This is one of the best-sounding and compact 1x15" combo on the market. The amp sends out 300W of power through a single Markbass custom neodymium speaker and paired piezo tweeter (with the option of up to 500W when using an extension speaker). Its solid-state preamp provides a warm and natural sound. The complete 5 Band EQ from ULTRALOW to HIGH is very effective, and the LIMITER control delivers a range of responses from modern right back to the old generation.
ANDREW GOUCHE'S SIGNATURE SOUND
Mark Bass created the Little Mark AG 58R amp to suit Andrew's individual requirements for both sound, and playing style. Thanks to his exceptional music production experience and finely tuned musical ear, the development process was rapid and precise. With Andrew's deep knowledge of what makes a great bass sound, Mark Bass customised frequency choices based on his direction and he stamped it with his seal of approval "Finally I have MY sound!".
NEW COMBO HEAD ERGONOMIC AND PRATICAL DESIGN
The new LITTLE AG 58R combo head amp design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving only the speaker outs and AC power socket on the rear panel, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything more practical.
WARM, TRUE-TO-THE-SOURCE SOUND
This combo's 15" speaker gives a pleasant low-mid emphasis perfectly suited to gospel, blues, roots music and more. Fifteen-inch speakers while sounding large,can sound shapeless and lack definition... however Mark Bass custom 15s display impressive clarity when compared to other 15" speakers, and this combo's piezo tweeter blends high end sparkle up to 18 kHz.
Limiter Control
This dedicated limiter control shines bright with a modern amp experience when fully dialled in. In contrast when set to zero it delivers an "old generation" response along with the typical distortion you can get when limiter effects are really low. Naturally a full range can be selected with everything in-between to craft your own individual amplifier characteristic response.
FSW MUTE / EQ ON/OFF
Featured on the front panel of the LITTLE AG 58R combo head is a convenient mute switch. In addition with an optional dual footswitch (FSW) you can remotely toggle the mute function, and also turn the EQ section on/off.
MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Many other amps brand on the market use generic power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Mark Bass MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.
COMPACT SIZE AND LIGHT WEIGHT
The MB CMD 151 GOG combo requires little real estate on stage. It's effortless to transport around town, and yet it delivers you all the volume you need for most gigs. It easily upgrades to a 500W rig with the addition of an 8ohm cabinet.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
